The Thrilling Experience of a Battery Commander Under a Hot Fire. "Ben Butler and I met in the rotunda of the Capitol," remarked Mr. Sayers, chairman of the Appropriations Com? mittee of the last House, to a Star writer one day, "the last time I saw him. It was not long before the old General's death, and the occasion, if I remember correctly, was some appear? ance he had to make before the Su? preme Court in the case of the Chicago Anarchists. As I shook the old man's hand my memory traveled back to a time when Butler's name was the one I liked the least, and Butler's hands the last ones into which I cared to fall. v'LwaaratheryouOjgj-?mere boy, in. Texas when the war broke like a storm. Naturally, with my geography, I went ;with the Confederacy. I was in the artillery. One day we captured a bat? tery of three brass guns. It was given to me to command, and the day I got that battery was the proudest day in my life. Then as I look back it still teems to me that those six brass field guns were the most beautiful things that I ever saw. "Of course I was full of ardor. I 'burned to do something with my bat jtery. Such was my anxiety to get into trouble with those guus that I ; dragged jv^couple' over to the Missis? sippi?-we were in Louisiana at the ?time?and pulled on a fight with a [ stray gunboat belonging to the Yankees [which I found prowling around. We ; had a sharp, spit-fire time of it for a few moments, when a lucky shot from - one of my guns tore a hole in her in such a fashion that it let the river in, and she filled and sank. I was ex? cessively proud of the achievement. ' "Butler had New Orleans at the time, and,? among other things, was running the papers. Later I read an account of my brush with the gunboat in one of Butler's journals. It could not he called an unbiased statement. It reviled me as a most abandoned and bloodthirsty character, and de? clared that even after the gunboat surrendered I kept on pouring shot into her, as if my purpose in life was ' wholesale murder. Of course this was nptjeo. ^ wouldn't have fired on anybbdy'after.;he had hauled- his flag down,--and tesides Ih at I didn't have the ammunition td;waste. . "Afterrl rejoined the rest of my cattery^ fallowing the exploit of the ?mboat I hunted trouble with the ankees more zealously, than ever, j One day. ?-?was; fully-gratified. ,We were still in Louisiana. The sun came up one morning and found some 10, 000 of us facing a largely superior force of Yankees. We couldn't have crawled out of a fight even were we so disposed, but no one suggested a re? treat. The fact was we felt quite cockey, and were full of a belief that we could whip the invader. The fight began, and I soon had my heart's wish; 1 was in a peck of trouble with the Yankees, I and my battery. I had snooeeded in attracting the attention and getting a hearing, as it were, from three Yankee batteries all at once. They were a reasonably brisk outfit, and it didn't take them a minute to get my,range. Then it began to rain sorrow and hail despair for my battery. ?"To show you how hot those Yan? kees made it one only need to say that, they wounded or killed 40 of my 66 men and dismounted two of my brass beautiea' in"30 minutes. You might have planted corn where my battery stood when they got through, it was so plowed and harrowed by the Yankee fire. I "It was in the thick of the battle I was standing near the No. 1 gun. A man by the name of Thompson was stepping-forward with a shot in his hands to load. Without a word of cry he suddenly fell forward on thje gun and then slipped to the ground, limp as a wet towel. A cannon ball had torn through his chest. "I ordered a man to his place. Be? fore he was there a moment a fragment of shell from out of the sky struck him on top of his" bead, and lie felH dead by the side of Thompson. It was such a whirl of smoke and roar that I couldn't tell what was going on at the other ?uns,- much less in other parts of the field. I had been ordered to hold my position, and had made up my mind to hold it while a gun and a man of my battery held together. I ordered another to take the place of thei Becond lying dead under the gun. Thfs >man got there just in time to receive a rifle bullet in his mouth. It came out under his ear. This man, however, didn't die. I met him years after the war. ! "Three men were all that were available for this especial duty. They were dea'd and wounded and gone ; and I took the post myself. I don't know how long it was?whether one minute or ten?when, without the slightest feeling of pain or warning, I was hurt, my legs gave way and I sank to the ground. At the same instant an ex? plosion, like 40 batteries all united in one discharge, broke loose to the rear of me. A column of fire and smoke* shot toward the sky, as if a volcano had been loosed by the general jar and din of battle. It was my ammunition wagon. I had 2,000 rounds of ammu? nition in a big army wagon. It had been placed about 50 yards to the rear of my battery. When we opened fight I had made up my mind to stay, and I'd brought up all my ammunition, resolved to win or lose right there. A shot from the Yankees had exploded it; that was the volcano. "As I look back I'm not sure but the chance explosion of my ammuni? tion wagon saved what was left of me and my battery. The smoke swept down and covered us up like a fog. The Yankees ceased firing on us. They probably thought we were wiped off the face of the earth in the explo? sion. As the smoke drifted on, while it became clear about the battery, it hung like a blanket between us and the enemy, and acted the part of a shield. The Yankees couldn't see us, so they didn't shoot. "Two of my men came along and dragged me to the rear, out of the way of immediate harm. " 'Are you hurt, Captain ?' asked one. "I told him I couldn't tell. I had fallen and couldn't get up; that was the extent of my information. ' "He tore open my coat and vest. My shirt was white, and save for pow? der stains and the general grime of battle it was white still. Not a drop of blood reddened it. I held up my left foot. " Tull off that boot,'I said. "The boot, a high cavalry sort, came off. Not a twinge of pain; not a color of blood. "At this point I broke into a per? spiration. A fear seized me, the like of which has never overcome me Bince. Had I fainted away in the midst of battle and in view of two armies ? I felt no wound, was torn by no pain. It came over me like some dream of horror that I was unhurt and had fainted, and that in the sequel of the 3tory I would be branded a coward from one end of the war to the other, wherever soldiers built a campfire. "I held up the right boot to be re? moved. A cupful of blood ran out. I was never bo glad to see anything in my life. I would not have taken gold for a single drop of it, euch was the relief it brought. I had been pierced through the ankle by a rifle ball. "When night fell, while we still held our lines, we were whipped. It had begun to r?in, with a sad, hope? less drizzle that took the heart out of a man. I was lying on some blankets in one corner of a negro cabin. Over in another corner, under a blanket, lay my dearest friend, dead. All about were wounded men ; the doctors had turned the place into a hospital. At last a doctor whom I knew came in. "We'll have to take off your leg." " 'Never while I'm alive,' I replied. 'I'm too youug to talk about going through life on one leg ' "Then he told me the army would have to retreat that night; that he had no ambulances; no means of transportation. The wounded, inclu? ding myself, would have to be left be? hind. They would be prisoners to the Yankees. "All at once, like a landslide, I thought of Butler and that newspaper account of my firing on the gunboat after it had surrendered. I made sure Butler would hang me like a dog, once he got hands on me. It was at this juncture when I determined he shouldn't get me. I was as strenuously against hanging as against amputation. "We were on an old sugar plantation. Before the fight I'd seen some rough two-wheeled sugar carts. I made them hustle about and get me a mule, a negro and a sugar cart. They band? aged my leg and put me in. The last thing the doctor did was to give me a two-ounce bottle of morphine and show me how to take it. Then he said 'good-by,' and I could see that he thought it was forever. He probably figured that if the Yankees didn't kill me the morphine would. "All that night, all the next day, all the nest night, that rough cart jolted on through the rain. For a whole 36 hours I lived on morphine. At last we got to Shreveport. When I was lifted out of the cart my ankle was swollen to elephantine size. But I escaped Butler, and I had not fainted away in battle, and these two reliefs almost made the rest easy. I got back into Texts, and at last was well again. As soon as I could sit in a saddle I was back with my battery again in time to take part in a campaign against General Canby?who was afterwards killed by the Modoc, Captain Jack? in-New Mexico. We left Texas with over 3,200 men, and on our return eight months. later mustered fewer than 1,000." ? It is. more noble to make your? self great than to be born so. ?

"When there are only two hotels in a small country town the entente cordiale is quite frequently strained. For instance: It was in Missouri. There had been a sudden influx of trade and the register contained six uame9, (the record for tbe year. It was the evening of the second day, also sup? per time. The first man in the diuing-room noticed the absence of the butter. Quoth he to the belle of the Ozarks, who was distributing prunes and other delicacies: "Kindly give me some butter." The belle of tbe Ozarks paused a moment. Then she decided to make a clean breast of the whole affair. "I'm sorry, sir, but we ain't got none. There's none in town, ex? cept at the other hotel, and they won't let us have none. They're jealous because we've got you pents. Will you have some apple butter?" The humor in a small hotel is not always furnished by the people who live therein. In one case, also in Missouri, it was the letter head of tbe Institution that furnished a smile. It was built something like this: ?.?. THE AVENUE HOUSE. ; : (Best In Towa) : : Mrs. Edward Smlthers. Proprietress. : : Ed. Smlthers (husband), Clerk. : *.? And yet the village gossips say that there is not a female suffragist in town. They do not seem to realize they are entertaining the "new woman" unawares. The man who is responsible for tbe following is not addicted to the fish? ing story habit, neither has be ever made a campaign affidavit. So bis story, is at least entitled to some consideration: "Just across the street from my room?this also was in Missouri? was the town clock. I had left a call for six. I was awakened by a vigorous pounding on the door, and when I responded: 'All right,' tbe ? man who was doing the work of an alarm clock drawled out: " 'Just wanted to tell you, stranger, that if you heard that clock strike six you have twenty minutes more to sleep. The clock's that much fast.'" There's one town in Missouri, on the Santa Fe?not far from the scene of a recent train robbery?in which there are seven houses. Five of them bear the sign ? 'Hotel."

The Italian Prime Minister Is Incased in a Metal Shield. Premier Crispi of Italy, it is in? teresting to know, has recently made preparations to defend himself against possible assassination, says the New York World. Ever since tbe last attempt upon his life this excitable prime minister has been in a constant state of alarm, and he fears a dagger or a bullet at almost every corner and upon every occa? sion. To ease his mind he has late? ly had made for him a coat of chain mail, such as the chevaliers wore in the middle ages, which he wears un? der his outer shirt. It is very light, exceedingly solid and of double thickness over the heart. Its.power of resistance is such that not only will it afford pro? tection against the slencferest of stilettos but a revolver bullet can? not penetrate it. In workmanship it is a beautiful piece of construction and so flexible and easy to wear that It occasions no discomfort to the noted man who dons it. Probably It is tbe finest coat of chain mail ever manufactured, for it has all the improvements of modern armor com? bined with the utility*and strength of the medieval metal garments. The cleverest of the clever armor? ers of Naples (who, by the way, should henceforth be known as the "Armorsuit Poole") constructed it and only charged the prime minister six hundred francs ($120), a marvel ously low price for such a unique garment. French and English. Those who have grown weary and perplexed over the peculiarities of the French lauguago, and who have wished that our parents and school? teachers did not consider that lan? guage necessary to our education, will rejoice at this item from an English newspaper, which shows that the Frenchman has as hard a time mastering our tongue as we have in mastering his. According to the story three French boys were studying a vol? ume of Shakespeare in their own tongue, their task being to render portions of it in English. When they came to Hamlet's famous solil? oquy, "To be or- not to be." their respective translations were as fol? lows: 1. "To was or uot to am." 2. "To were or is to not." 3. "To should or not to will."? Harper's Round Tablo._ STOLE HIS NEIGHBOR'S TROUT. Malodorous Devics of One Angler for Stealing Fish from Another. Out on Long Island there is a trout stream celebrated for tho size and number of its fish, says the New York World. Year after year great broad-backed, red-spotted fellows have been taken from its pools, and any man who pained permission to cast a fly anywhere on its dimpled reaches was sure of a day's good sport. But at the beginning of. this season the angler with the privileges at the lower end of the stream caught few fish and small. Every known fly and bait of all kinds were tried, but still fish were scarce. From the headwaters of the brook, however, came reports of great catches of large fish. The mau at the lower end of the stream couldn't understand it until last week he went prospecting. Far up the brook and on the brink of a deep pool ho ran afoul of an awe-inspiring odor. After sniffing about a bit he dis? covered that it emanated from a cornucopia of oilcloth haDging from a twig that overcast the pool. About this oilcloth buzzed a myriad of flies, and ever and anon beneath the swarm a huge trout broke the still water of the brook with a splash. The curiosity of the angler was greater than his sense of smell and he investigated. He found the corn? ucopia contained the heart and liver of a beef creature, dead many days. It was alive with fat grubs and as they dropped one after another into the pool the trout rose and grabbed them. When the angler saw this he knew why there were no trout in the lower end of the stream. He pros? pected further and up the stream found a dozeu similar devices. When he had located all of them he tied a handkerchief over his nose and, stringing all the cornucopias on a stick, carried them below, where he set them up over his own waters. In two days all the trout in the stream were feeding around the pendant hearts and livers, and when the man at the upper end of the brook turned up for a day's fish? ing he found that his fish had vamoosed. He found, also, that the other had carted away the bait and now the two don't speak as they pass by. _ KNEW THE PORTRAIT. Rover and the .Picture of His Dead Master. Since the painting of that famous bunch of grapes with which Apelles is said to have deceived the fowls of tho air, it has been an undecided question whether animals recognize fac-similes in pictures. It is certain that they sometimes recognize por? traits. The young master of a beautiful collie dog suddenly died. The dog' was inconsolable. For weeks he roamed about in search of the lost one exhibiting the mute and touch? ing grief that animals sometimes show for the dead. One day a portrait of the boy was brought home, and it was proposed to bring Rover in to see if he would recognize it. The moment he came into the room the portrait caught his eye, and he sprang forward with a joyful bark, reaching up to touch it with his paws. When he found that it was only an inanimate surface his disappoint? ment was pitiful to see.? N. Y. Tribune. _ The Prevailing Craze. "Is your sister at home, Johnny?'

Blount for a seat in the Mississippi senate. In the beat of a recent debate, Captain Blount declared that money was no object with him, and that all he wanted with the office was to use is for the service of the dear people. Colonel Brewer, on the other hand, said he meant business. I Je was a business man. He wanted to serve the people on a business basis, that is to say, for what there was in it. Captain Blount replied that if it were really true that Colonel Brewer wsaoutfor the "stuff," and nothing else, be, Blount, would give him the 8600 Brewer would earn if elected Senator. Brewer snapped up the offer and Blount at once wrote his check :or the amount, which Brewer accepted and retired from,the contest, leaving the senatorship at the mercy of Captain Blount. This happened a week ago; and now comes Colonel Brewer raging in the field, declaring that upon taking the check to the bank in Water Valley be could have been knocked down with a feather when the .lashior loftily remarked: "No funds."
